Arcadia Items.

Ed. Register.-"B. F." seems rather
huffy. He must have been INDUCING rather
too freely In that beer foam he seems SO
fond OF. (No, thank you, do not wish to
see the beer foam, and have had quite
enough of its gas through you.) No fear OF
him having any need of an artesian well, for
TO judge by his talk he Is Innocent Of indnlg-
ing In water. "B. F." also stands for
Bfaxen Fanatic, which, think, will suit
you much BETTER There is also another ap-
pellstion which L have in my mind but re-
frain from giving it. I think the gas must
have gone to his head. Hence the halluci-
nation. ANY one drinking our e-giving
spring water would never imagine such an
impossibility as Arcadia being swallowed up
by Ironton. And as We will have an one
hundred thousand dollar hotel, and railroad
hospital on Simpson Hill, fine depot and
restaurant, cottages and villas without num-
Der. then you may perhaps annex Ironton
and call it Arcadia, the beautiful summer
city for the Mississippi valley, which Is IS
sure to be as debt and taxes.
Isse. Nj. Editor, In your last weeks REG
lister you say when persons come to the
valley to buy property the prices 20 up to
the sky ut once, which is IS true ~ true as
preaching In nine cases out of ten. Which,
think, is mean in any man or woman who
does it, and there are some in Arcadia. 1
am sorry to say. Mr.. Simpson tells me he
will sell to any one who wants to buy, and
will build good house thereon at = reason
able price. / am agent for several places,
and have got some Of my own I will sell
cheap to any one who will improve them
Send them over, Mr.. Editor.
Mr.. Jones, the painter who lives on the
Moses Collins place, had . car load Of Texas
cattle brought to this place some time In
June, think, which has spread disease
among our native cattle and already killed
ten or fifteen In the neighborhood where
these Texas cattle range. do not know,
personally, whether these Texas cattle have
spread the disease or not, but those who
have lost cattle say It IL Texas fever and was
brought here by these Texas cattle. II this
10 30, there ought to be law to investigate
the matter at once, as there are lots Of poor
people who have lost their only COW. This
they can i'll afford. think there is law to
prevent these Texas cattle from being
brought into this state.
The most Of our summer resorters are
taking their departure for the city. Last
week there were fifteen left in one day. The
others will soon follow them home.
With one last bumper let us hail
The wanderer who Is about to leave,
Who takes his leave of this still vale,
Who We hope will soon come here to live.

Some Of the Fort Hill Sunday school boyi
would like for Brother Whitworth 70 have
more singing to liveu up the school 9
little. Eight or ten songs would be
quite in the bounds Of reason they think and
would double the number Of scholars. "Un.
